Craft House’s Jake tiny home adds solar power and two bedrooms

Craft House’s Jake pushed the company’s compact housing line toward a more family-ready format, pairing two bedrooms with a standard energy package that includes 8.5 kW of rooftop solar, a heat pump and battery storage. The 12-meter modular home also kept its footprint small enough to stay in tiny-house territory, even as it took on features usually reserved for larger year-round houses.

The layout centered on a main floor with a 19.5-square-meter living room and kitchenette, plus an 8-square-meter bedroom and a 4.3-square-meter bathroom. Upstairs, the mezzanine functioned as a real second bedroom rather than a token loft, giving Jake a two-bedroom plan that points squarely at buyers who want more than a weekend getaway. The home’s arched gable and double-height glass gave the living space a more architectural feel, while the interior finished the case for a more polished, full-time setup.

Craft House’s kitchen pitch was unusually specific for a tiny home. Sage-green cabinetry, warm wood counters, a matching wood backsplash, black hardware and a black sink framed a four-burner induction hob, an oven, a dishwasher, a built-in refrigerator and an island table that doubled as casual dining. The bathroom continued that higher-end look with wood and marble surfaces, reinforcing the idea that Jake was meant to read as a finished house, not a stripped-down trailer.

The official listing described Jake as a year-round modular extension with a gazebo, garage and utility room. It listed the main build at 12 meters long, 3.5 meters wide and 4.10 meters to the roof ridge, and added optional elements that included a 20-square-meter terrace, a 5-square-meter terrace, an 18-square-meter carport and a 5-square-meter utility room. Craft House also said its modular and mobile homes were year-round and fully functional, with projects in Poland, Austria, Germany, France and Ireland.

Jake fit into a broader line that already included Lukas, a 10-meter-long, 3.5-meter-wide modular cottage with a ground-floor bedroom and a mezzanine. That made Jake feel less like a one-off and more like the flagship version of Craft House’s idea of compact living: bigger, more autonomous and more livable for a small household. The timing lined up with Poland’s own shift toward solar and modular building, as cumulative solar capacity reached about 24.8 GW by the end of 2025 and renewables made up 50.04% of installed power capacity. In a market moving faster toward cleaner power and prefabricated housing, Jake landed as a tiny home asking a bigger question about how far tiny can stretch before it becomes something else.
